It was his business to note the moral devi- ations of his countrymen, to check and to punish them. I believe very little success attended this officer in the administration of his duties. From some defect in the agents or objects of censure, this employ- ment seems, in general, not merely to fail of producing good, but ac- tually to exasperate the evil which it purposes to cure. This is poor encouragement for a lover of man- kind to assume this illustrious pro- vince, and yet I cannot but think, that mild and seasonable animad- versions on the errors and follies of our neighbours, may sometimes be of use. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1799-04008.xml Wed, 01 Apr 1970 12:00:00 GMT
